Saturday the Blue Wave took on Staples High School in one of the most anticipated games of the year. For the first time all season Darien was held to less than 40 points and the victory margin was less than 30 points. The Wave defense was dominant in this game shutting out a very strong Staples offense. Two punt blocks also contributed to the commanding defensive performance. Senior Mark Evanchick helped spark the defense with three sacks, which propelled him past Dwight Freeney to become the all-time sack leader in the Connecticut.
Darien's offense had an unusual sloppy game with a couple turnovers and some missed opportunities. It was not all bad new, as the Wave were able to put up 27 points. Staples proved to be a good test the Blue Wave move towards the playoffs. Darien's next game is on Thanksgiving against rival New Canaan for the FCIAC championship.
